This Saturday: Strathgartney Autumn Horse Trials 2006

This upcoming weekend, Saturday September 16, Kionus and I will be going to the Strathgartney Horse Trials! We are looking forward to a fun day of doing all three phases of the event. This time we will move up a level into the Training division.

Ambre and Trinny are going to enter in the pre-training division. Trinny has been jumping well and with that new dressage saddle I think they're totally set ;-) Other than that, Anna another student of mine will be doing two dressage tests with her Friesian mare Ylse. I'm sure there are going to be many more familiar Island and off Island faces! Lets hope the weather will cooperate this year.

Jumping at Strathgartney

The Fall Horse Trials at Strathgartney Horse Park is only a few weeks away; so today it was time again to practice the cross country course. Ambre brought Trinny and I had Kionus. It was a nice sunny afternoon to try pretty well every pre-training & training jump on the course. The horses were jumping well and we're both very pleased.

As the saying goes: A picture speaks a thousand words... So instead of a long story of how the afternoon went I will let the pictures tell the story:
